Once I was a landscape gardener, well I was meant to be the apprentice. But I found myself taking the lead on most projects, think my brains were a bit sharper than my boss, Colin the Cactus. Colin wasn't as sharp as a cactus when it came to thinking. Colin was called Colin the Cactus by his grandchildren, because of his stubble. Once we were doing the garden on some millionaire's mansion. "So Damien," said Colin, as we walked round the front of the house. "What are we putting all over the garden?" "Oh," I said as the delivery lorry pulled away. "Ta Mac!" "Tarmac!" Colin spluttered on his bacon sandwich. "You can't put tarmac all over the garden." "No," I laughed and explained. "Not tarmac, silly you, that'll teach you to interupt me. I was saying thank you to Mac, the lorry driver." "Oh," said Colin. "Mac's brought all this stuff for us to put over the garden then, what are we putting over the garden then?" "Peat," I said. "What did Pete ever do to you?" "Oh," I groaned. "For peat's sake!"
